The MMR Code needs rebalancing.
Today, I started out with 6 stars in manager mode. I am now down to 1 star after drawing a ridiculous amount of OVR whales. I am currently a 126 in FC Champion and my matches today have been:
128, 127, 128, 129, 128, 129, 126, 128, 129, 126.
That is 3x 129, 4x 128, a 127 and 2x 126.
This is not competitive and is a result of the "matchmaking rating" code (MMR).
My above run of games came as a result of me having some success in manager mode as a result of lots of experimentation and tweaking to produce a good run with the players available to me. After that run, I get given the OVR whales above running full 127 front lines with rapid playstyles which is a playstyle exploit of back lines. That combined with RNG (random number generator) calculations with significant boosts to higher OVRs against the lower OVRs is killing the manager mode.
It is not just manager mode that is affected by this as the players I have drawn in VSA Ginga matches have also had massive boosts over me resulting in not one win in PvP, meaning not much point in me doing that event.
This is further compounded by the Gauntlet event which is stopping me from selling my players for shards as I needed them to play the weaker AI in the event so I could save my top team for the later games.
This is some really bad game design and I implore EA to fix this and rebalance in the next update.
To the players out there also suffering from this, please make your experiences known here.
